Virtual Nostalgia : Ninja Gaiden

Team Ninja solidified themselves as an iconoclaustic, singular minded developer back in the early-mid 2000’s (during the sixth generation of consoles). They made the games that they wanted to make, how they wanted to make it and whichever console they wanted on. While a lot of developers would not imagine their games to not be on the PlayStation 2 those days (due to the console’s formidable install base), Team Ninja chose a different path. They openly declared that console to be an inferior piece of hardware, and under the formidable leadership of their enigmatic, charismatic and famously headstrong leader Tomonobu Itagaki – committed themselves 100% to making games under the original Xbox (Though they did port the Dreamcast Dead or Alive to the PS2, with stellar results)
